While those web-sites do have some interesting information, it has been skewed in favor of selling books or videos or something. So as a result the only things mentioned are outrageous statements that are possibly out of context, etc. However i am glad they exist. Perhaps propaganda will work in the idea of american favor. Meaning that The american ideal has been skewed, severely. And the imbalance I HOPE will be taken care of during the next election. Unless the majority of america is sold on the "War against terror." People can think for themselves right? :erm: :tsktsk:

I wasn't joking about the emergency health powers act.
This legislation along with USA Patriot Act and others are in place.
Congress got it in when the american people were not paying attention.

Bad Nacho:
I didn't want to hurt anyones feelings, but I really think the building (and even the people) do not matter compared to the changes all the <b>living</b> people in the west have to live with!
Btw, the army killed about 10 Afghans for each dead in NY.
another comparison:
how much was payed to the survivors of the bombed wedding party in Afghanistan? about 30000.
how much was payed to the guy who burnt himself on an apple tart at McDonalds? ...
SantaClaws:
yep, but live goes on. The dead of NY are dead, but the living are still loosing more and more because of the terrorist acts. The are still winning. In this context Bush is working for the terrorists (maybe because to really solve the problems is beyond all of us).

It aint Civ you know! Not even the current American administration are stupid enough to define the goal as 'conquering' Afghanistan.
Oh yah and if I lived in America, I too would be on the look out for a different country to settle down in, but you'ld want to make arrangements fast. Top of the Desirable list are of course Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, The Seychelles, Iceland, New Zealand, and Ireland. Better sign up now coz numbers will be limited.

I know that Afghanistan is unconquerable.
I was just paraphrasing someone else.
We should stop this stupid war.

Geez, with all the uncanny similarities b/t DX's story and the real world, you would think there was that one vital element that the real world should have, too: J.C. Denton.

In this day and age, "conquering" a country in the traditional sense, doesn't exist. It never happens. When a nation is "conquered" all that means is a puppet governement is installed. Thats all. They become trading partners and another nod of the head in the UN. Now using that defieniton of conquering, think how many nations the US has conquered. Hmm, Europe, Saudi Arabia, Afganistan, Japan, several island nations in the pacific... Yes America IS an Empire. Its a DeFacto Empire. The "new" empire since the end of the British Empire. The Soviet Unioin was an empire in a VERY similar way. Except that because of the nature of Communism, they seems more like an Empire. In other words, YES the us HAS conquered Afganistan and they are trying to conquer, Iraq, Iran, and anywhere "terrorism" (Economic Interests, OIL) exist. Reason is OIL. The reason US supports Isreal, OIL. The reason for the "war on terror" OIL. September 11th only gave the U.S. an excuse to finally send an overwhelming amount of troops abroad and add to its empire and Oil production.
